C.C.F. Candidate For Queen's Co.

Lorne Houston. a farmer from North Rustico, was nominated a 0.01‘. candidate in Queen's Coun- ty at a nominating convention held in New Glasgow public hall on Saturday night. The meeting decided not to run two candidates in the dual constituency but was unanimous in the view that one candidate should be placed in the field. A collection was taken as a start towards a campaign fund. After the nomination was com- pleted the meeting was addressed by Professor Frank R. Scott. n-i- tional chsirman of the 0.0.1". Party who was in oduced to the con- vention by George Wotton. provin- cial secretary. ' Professor Scott spoke of the steady growth of the 0.0.1“. across Canada. "The influence of the 0.0.1“. cannot be measured by mere numbers." he said. "From the 0.01‘. have come all the good so- cial ideas which are beginning to appear in the programs of the other parties. But only the threat of the 0.0.1”. has forced them to copy these ideas. That is why a vote for the old parties is a wasted vote and a. vote for the CCF is a vote that brings results. The stronger the CCF grows the more we will get from both liberals and Conservatives"

"People should remembl.” he continued. "that the Conservative Party has been in power six years in Ontario and it has done pract-

For’ Rearming OF Europe

t

Dr. Morris Fishbein. for 87 years foremost medical writer of the U. S. and editor of the American Association publications. has been ousted as the association's mouth- piece. Removal of Dr. Fishbein. announced at the annual meet- ing of the A.M.A. trustees in At- lantic City, N. J., came as a sur- prise to the majority of medical mcn. even though he has stirred many a controversy by his writ- ing and speeches. The trustees fur- bnde him to speak on their be- half without their consent and specifically mentioned “controver- sial subjects." Fishbein had 'ap- pointed himself as principal ex- ponent of the anti-compulsory health insurance faction among U S. medical men.

z OTTAWA. J-unc 12 —~ (OP) -—A

will throw its shadow on Canada's Federal campaign this week.

As leaders of the two old part- ies square away in Ontario and Quebec for the climactic two weeks of struggle for rule at Ottawa. British Columbia will vote Wed- 'nasday in a Provincial election.

While the Federal campaigning raged. Newfoundland and Nova Sootia have given the Liberals substantial Provincial approvals. But British Columbia not only in larger than either of them. it also is more of a question mark in pro- phesying about June 27.

The Provincial ballots of its peo- ple may do more than decide the fate of the Coalition Government. They may show whether the 6.0.1’: can anticipate making any further inroads at Ottawa through the rldings of the coastal Province.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister St. Laurent will move back to the hustings after an idleness dictated by lnryngitis. His final two weeks will be concentrated on Quebec and Ontario with one brief fling in Newfoundland.

George Drew, Progressive Con- servative leader, in Ontario from the west last week. charged that the Government sold the war-born 822,000,000 Canadair Aircraft plant at Montreal secretly for $4,000,000 to a United States firm which. he said. was a "notorious" membe of a "sinister" intemctlonal arms ring.

Trade Minister Howe prom tiy said Washington had allied that the firm - the Electric Boat Company - is a reputable comp- any and argued that the sale of Canadair was a prime example of the GovemmenVs efforts to ‘keep the aviation industry alive in Can- adii. l-le said the deal wasn't se- cret.

Mr. Drew will campaign in On- tario this week and will head into Quebec Saturday.

MJ. Coldwell, 0.0!‘. leader, moved into British Columbia to combine his Federal campaigning with support of the 0.01". Prov- incially. lle will concentrate his fire on the West generally hence- forth. The fourth party leader. Solon Low of Social Credit. is working tn the West to enlarge his Com- mons following.

U.S. Doctors Oppose Truman Sickness Plan

By Frank Corey

ATLANTIC CITY. June 12 - (Am-Organized doctors in the United States have‘ renewed their prescription to fight President ‘rmrrunh plan for compulsory sick- ' ness insurance.

This treatment wag inscribed in the records of the American Med- ical Association which ended its 98th convention last. Friday after a lively week sparked by restrictive action against a well-irnown doc- tor

That action by the board of trustees was the muzzlin-g of Dr. Morris. Fishbein, outspoken and versatile editor of the A.'M.A.'S Joimiai. from speaking puiblicly on "controversial subjeots"—and from writing on them without clearing first with A.M.A.’s front office.

Some 16,000 doctors have gone back to their offices from absorb-

ing some sea. air, new tips on scientific developments — and thousands of words blasting Tru- man's plan.

They had it from Dr. Ernest Irons of Chicago, their new pre- sident, that the "fight" against

compulsory sickness insurance "is not that of medic-inc alone; it is the fight. of all America." The A.M.A., in its quest to en- courage Americang to join “volun- tary" prepaid medical care plans_— as opposed to Truman's proposal for tax deductions from take- home pay—lias come up with this: Steps were taken to recognize “nors-profit" prepaid medical care plans operated by groups of lay- men-such as laibor and farmer organizations — as distinguished fi-oin plans operated by doc-tors. Up to now the A.M.A. has ap- proved only those’ "mediicab-care-r

plans sponsored by county and state medical societies.

It was explained that the "nan- prcfit" requirement did not ex-

clude privatte. commercial insur- ance companies from the health field. ‘

The damage to the equipment and track was not considered to be serious.

llfiiCllMfil) Proposals ls Varied

LITTLE ROCK, June 1! —- (AP) --President Truman Saturday cali- ed_ for rearming of Europe. said trimming funds for helping Europe would be “false economy" and disclosed he soon would ask Con- gress to help needy areas of the world.

Reaction from members of Con- gress was swift and mixed.

On his three points, the Presi- dent said:

"It is of vital importance that

the Atlantic Pact be followed by a program of military aid to in- crease the effective strength of the free nations against aggres- sion. . "A slash in funds available for European recovey at this time would be the w rst kind of false economy."

As for legislation to give the

nical knowhow help to “under- developed regions", he ssid it of- fers “enormous potential benefits iri a growing world economy."

In Washington. Senator Robert Taft (Rep. O.) head of the Re- publican policy committee. ob- served that rearming of Europe might have “the opposite effect." although he expects to vote for the Atlantic Pact.

Taft said, too. he doesn't believe a lo-per-cent cut in E.C.A. funds would eliminate any essential benefits.

Senator Tom Connally (Dem. Tex.) chairman of the Senate for- eign relations committee. com- menting on Truman's proposed world economic program, said he understood only a small pro- priatidn" would "bewnecessary ' at first. ' ""

In his speech, the President spoke of continuing "Communist pressures" and sharply challenged those who he said maintain "we cannot afford to pay the price of peace."

A cut in E.C.A. funds, said the President, "would be a great gain for Communism."

United States aid. Truman said. has stopped “the disintegration of the democracies of Europe" and "turned the tide in favor ct free- dom and peace." But he warn- etl "we are only midway" in the struggle and “the cause of peace
